Get ready! P Square set to release 6th Album. + All you need to know about them

Nigerian Pop duo, Peter and Paul Okoye, known as P-
Square, are currently working on their sixth album.
The musical brothers, who recently rode the headlines
with stories of their separation, have released photos
which shows them actively in a studio, with their elder
brother and manager, Jude Okoye, also involved. The
photo bore the caption, '#instudio, #workinprogress,
#6thalbum.
Sources have revealed that the new album, will
contain songs such as 'Personally', and 'Testimoney',
as well as many others. P-Square's discography began
in 2001 when they won the 'Grab Da Mic' competition,
leading Benson & hedges to sponsor their debut
album, titled Last Nite, which was released under
Timbuk2 music label. P-Square was also nominated as
"Most Promising African Group" in the Kora Awards
three months after the release of their debut album.
They eventually won the 2003 Amen Award for "Best
R&B Group".
In 2005, P Square released their second album, Get
Squared under their own label, Square Records. This
album was marketed nationwide by TJoe Enterprises,
although they were still managed by Howie T of Adrot
Nigeria Limited. The video for the second album held
the #1 position on the MTV Base chart for four straight
weeks.
They have an ever growing fan base across Africa with
a particular stronghold of diehard fans in South Africa.
Late in 2007, they released their best-selling album so
far, GameOver. It has sold 8 million copies worldwide.
In 2009, P-Square released their fourth studio album,
Danger. The album features collaborations with 2 Face
Idibia, J Martins and Frenzy. The first single called
"Danger" is a hip hop song with cutting synths and a
frog bass baseline similar to an Eminem song. The
video affirms this with the presence of clowns and
staggered movements in front of the camera
reminiscent of comical videos by Eminem. They are
also known for the close resemblance which the twins
have to American R&B Superstar, Usher Raymond.
On 4 April 2010, P-Square was named the Artist of the
Year at the KORA All Africa Music Awards in
Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso while they were in
London for a Concert at the Troxy, and they will
receive a whopping sum of $1 Million Dollars as the
Award Winners, in Ebebiyin City.
Now with a 6 album in the works, the group will
certainly be a hit.
All you need to know about P Square
The story of P Square began in St. Murumba
secondary school, a small Catholic school in Jos,
Nigeria. Identical twins Peter and Paul joined their
school music and drama club where they began
singing, dancing, and mimicking songs by MC
Hammer, Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson.
They later formed an
acappella quartet called
"MMMPP" (M Clef a.k.a.
Itemoh, Michael, Melvin,
Peter and Paul). Drawing
inspiration from their
music idol Michael Jackson,
they began break dancing,
formed the group called
"Smooth Criminals" in
1997. They dropped M Clef
from the group "MMMPP"
which later was changed
to "MMPP". Their artistic
talent and precise dance
routine soon made them
household names in the
city of Jos, where they performed at school functions
and other occasions.
Later in 1999, Peter and Paul returned to music school
to develop their skills on keyboard, drums, bass and
rhythm guitar. Their work includes the soundtracks for
a number of films like Tobi, Mama Sunday, Moment of
Bitterness and Evas River.
Later in 1999, they applied to the University of Abuja
to study Business Administration. The Smooth
Criminals disbanded when its members left to various
other universities. Subsequently Peter and Paul
formed their own group, variously called "Double P",
"P&P", and "Da Pees", until they eventually settled on
"P Square". They are managed by Bayo Odusami aka
Howie T, a seasoned concert promoter and the CEO of
Adrot Nigeria Limited.
In 2001, "P-Square" won the "Grab Da Mic"
competition, and hence Benson & Hedges sponsored
their debut album, titled Last Nite, which was released
under Timbuk2 music label. P-Square was also

Kora Awards three months after the release of their
